Pancakes Recipe

Assalamu Alaikum everyone.

Maryam here. Today's post is a pretty simple recipe. In our family we really love pancakes, and for a while, I have been making them every Friday morning. It's very quick and easy so lets get started.

(Please keep in mind that this recipe makes a lot of pancakes, enough for 10 people)

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. sugar
6 eggs, lightly beaten 
3 cups milk
3/4 cup water

Method:
Step 1. Sift (or whisk) together the flour, salt and sugar.
Step 2. Make a well in the centre, add the eggs and gently beat together.
Step 3. Add the milk and water and mix until the batter is smooth and thin.
Step 4. Apply a little butter or oil to a hot pan and pour one ladle of batter onto the pan, quickly rotating the pan so that it is covered with a thin layer of batter.
Step 5. Cook for 1 minute and then flip the pancake to fully cook on the other side.
Step 6. Once it is done, turn out onto a plate and serve hot.
There are lots of different fillings you can have with pancakes. My personal favourites are lemon and honey, date syrup and maple syrup topped with fruit. You can also fry some mushrooms with onions and cream cheese for a savoury filling.
Well, that's all. Hope you enjoyed it and see you next week, insha'Allah.

Wasalaam,

Maryam

  1. By the way, these pancakes are known as crepes. I want to try this, but we don't have 10 people in the house. I'll try and make it for dinner inshaa Allaah!

    1. Yes, they are a bit like crepes. These are English pancakes; they are thinner than American pancakes but thicker than French crepes. I hope you enjoy them!

    2. I'll try and halve the recipe - I am SO tired of American pancakes. My mother used to make English pancakes and we buy pancakes from Souq Al Waqif! Have you had them there? I usually get Nutella, and cream-cheese & honey!

    3. For us it's the other way round; we normally make English pancakes and only have American pancakes now and again! No, we've never had them at Souq Waqif. We haven't really been there many times.
